Calendars and clocks,
Your Friend or foe?
Can’t take them with you
Or catch them,
They go

Can you take off your watch and let time be
Forget knowing the day
Live life
Now and free

Are you controlled and run
By the hands of the clock
In a race
You can’t win
Behind arms that tic-tok

Desperately chasing the seconds of day
Not recognizing
Memories
In the making to stay

Forgetting to live
In the moment of now
Missing when it’s gone
Not knowing how

You didn’t see time
When it was there
Never really being
All too aware

You watch the calendar and check the clock
When your chance for life has already knocked
It’s here right now
It’s at your door
Don’t wait thinking
They will give you more

Opportunity, luck, money
Or love
In a time slot or day
You can’t place the above

Stop watching the time
Don’t plan it ahead
Or It’ll surge right past you
And you’ll miss life instead
